Re: Thunderbolt 3/USB-c vs USB 3 speeds
Thanks a lot, Darryl. I'll be reading thrugh this a couple of times. Some of it goes over my head, but you're being very helpful. I'm shure I'm not the only one to find this useful, either.
The reason I asked about this is simply that Thunderbolt and USB3 are new to me. My previous mac was a2008 cheesgrater with old USB, Firewire, SATA spinners and the OWC SSDs I mentioned on a PCIe adapter card.
I'll be needing to get more storage space soon, and I'll simply be looking for something to plug into a TB or USB port that has a ratio of size and speed that suits me, now that I know that the ports are no issue. As I've said; I find that read/write speeds around 400 mb/s is adequate for me. Mainly Lightroom and light Pro Tools work.
